It's hard to believe, that this movie trilogy wasn't planned from the beginning as a trilogy. Wouldn't it have been for the change of the actress of Jennifer and the missing return of Crispin Clover, you wouldn't know, that this wasn't planned as a trilogy from day one.
This movie has it all: Travel to the future, an alternative 80s reality and again back to the 50s. I love how the characters crosses paths with themselves from the first movie.
This movie has one of my favorite scene of all three movies. It's the end, where just after the 50s Doc has sent back 80s Marty back to the 80s, Marty is running back to him, with Doc wondering, where he came from, as he just sent him back to the future. And Marty's response, that he came back from the future.

Duplicity, a review by Rich

Title: Duplicity

Runtime:125
Certificate:12
Year:2009
Genres:Suspense/Thriller

Plot:My Review:
Muddled and messy, disappointing given the big name stars involved (Giamatti, Owen, Roberts) and the quality of the screenwriter Tony Gilroy (Bourne Trilogy, Devils Advocate). I found it quite tricky to follow, as there were so many flashbacks it got confusing, although it was pretty clear from the beginning exactly who would end up getting conned.
It was also really slow, and I must admit I got bored of the movie, despite the leads having good chemistry together it was wasted with an inferior plot. The whole concept of industrial espionage to these heights is ridiculous, but would have been acceptable if the film was gripping. Sadly it wasn't, and overall is a major disappointment.

I just finished season 4... the last season that was given to me for Christmas to watch. Though I do have the next season already ordered to look forward to. Needless to say... I am still hooked on the series. The set is filled with good episodes... but even so... it was once again rather easy for me to pick a favorite episode. As they brought back the character of Mr. Yang from the previous season's finale for this season's finale. Letting us know that Mr. Yang had a partner that is still out there.... a Mr. Yin! And looking ahead to season five I see they are brought back for that season finale as well. Something more to look forward to as these episodes are arguably the best episodes of the entire series.
